Veterans Day Freebies!

Friday, November 7, 2014

I have a few new items that I have recently added to my store at Teachers Pay Teachers:

(Click on the pictures to check them out)

CVC Clip The Sound cards. This includes initial, middle AND ending sounds! Just add clothes pins and you have an engaging center that is differentiated! Answer key printables and an easy to follow directions printable are also included so students can get started quickly AND check their own work.

This is a download to make your own teacher printable. This is GREAT for teacher gifts - just in time for Christmas :) The fonts are embedded so that means you just type over the teacher name and school name to enter the names you want and the font stays the same. You can use this over and over for multiple gifts, just change the names each time and print! Pick up a few frames at the dollar store and you have a very inexpensive, but super cute, personalized gift!

This FROZEN sight words card game is a favorite right now!!!! The kids LOVE this! This was also a past "Follower Freebie", which means you could have gotten this FREE in the past if you were a follower of my Teachers Pay Teachers Store. If you missed it, I give a new "Follower Freebie" each month!!! (See below how to follow my store and get a free kit each month!!!)

I have have a "Freebies" tab, too. Pin it so you don't forget to go there often and get new freebies!

Now to Veteran's Day.....

I have some new freebies just in time for Veterans Day!

The first one is a foldable book that gives some basic facts about Veterans Day that students can color. I always tell my students to take things like this home and tell their parents about what they have learned. I like that this is short and sweet and to the point. We read this in class and it gives a starting point to expand the conversation and talk about Veterans Day. Then student color their own books.

Click on the picture to download this from Google Drive. Fold in half and then fold in half again to make this into a "book".

Next I have a printable poem, actually it is a SONG and a cloze activity to go with it. We read and sing this several times in class. It goes to the tune of "O Christmas Tree". The students then get the cloze activity and fill in the missing words (these are printed two per page to save paper). I have students glue this in a poetry notebook and draw a picture to go with it, but this could be glued to a larger paper and have student draw a picture to go with it there too.
